its 13 wins dammit.
do your algebra.

(x-6) / x = .90
x = 60 games.
60 games minus the 6 losses = 54.

I am not sure the op numbers are right but he says 16 games versus zerg then says 16 wins 1 loss which equals 17 games this is the number i was using ,.,.... so in this event i was correct 12 wins .......use your reading comprehension skills

17+3=20 ..... 16+1 = 17 ( note this is YOUR ERROR ) .. 9+2 =11
20+17+11 = 48 ...... 60-48 ==== 12 ..... ARE YOU DISPUTING THIS ????????? It doesn't even take algebra ; simple arithmetic will do if we all agree 54of 60 = 90 percent

current games won/played: 42/48
42/48 | +12
54/60 = 0.9

it's 12 wins...

yes this is assuming the numbers are correct ,,, never have i heard so much arguing over something so simple .. its very funny ,, if you were 6 or 7 years old it might make sense that it would require a debate to solve this ... I am assuming you are a little older than this lmao

I think the 16-1 is supposed to be 15-1 (count the match list)

that would explain everything and it would be 13 wins needed -.-

It is hard to tell sometimes online if people are trolling or actually that inept .. as i said i am using the numbers provided , so if you goona disagree with my number disagree with the numbers provided NOT my math ,, as i assumed the op added the match list correctly .. ..
